Pulling back into the right lane + Passing zone is coming to an end = 2 lanes in your direction of travel Therefore there are 2 lanes in one direction and one oncoming lane = 3 lanes I am glad you were there with me so you can remind me of the circomstances. driving in the right lane, passing the 1st car by going in the left lane (oncomming traffic) move back to the right lane. dotted line was going to be a solid line repeat the process for the second car. only 2 lane necessary.
